In Topic: IFS & IFE (new airline)

IFE's only real advantage is to boost the reputation of your routes. I usually only add it when I've got a healthy bank account and my routes have stabilized.

In Topic: Automatically finding maximum profit

In terms of automation, I'd rather have a batch process that would analyze and distribute routes so that your aircraft inventory is used to max efficiency.

 

A "maximize profit" button is just lazy.


In Topic: Merger Test?

Would you type something more conducive? We are here to exchange ideas to craft out the best proposal, not just pointing out loopholes of others. 


How is it not conducive to point out flaws and loopholes in suggestions? That gives everyone a chance to note loopholes and find ways to close them before the idea gets implemented. It's otherwise known as constructive criticism.

The merger process is a fair idea but the complexity of it - not just implementation but abuse avoidance - is thorny. The more people point out potential flaws, the better the developers will be able to unknot the tangle of eventually putting the feature in the game.

True, I agree on that. My idea is not flawless, the purpose for all these discussion is to point out flaws in our proposal so that one day we will come out with a conclusion that is mature enough to be put in use which would limit exploitation to the very least. There is no point of you being hostile which is not helping anyone. I believe we are all here to make the game better, so do just that.

 

Any hostility you might have felt is your own assumption. I'm simply saying that any feature you might propose is going to be subject to exploitation. If people respond to your suggestion by saying an element is impractical, then you need to adapt and come up with a practical solution rather than rely on the maturity and bonhomie of other players. It's the nature of the beast.


In Topic: Operating Flights For Other Airlines

Just so that you know, SkyWest is a separate regional airline that contracts with multiple other airlines in the US. It is not owned by any parent airline. :P

 

Right. I was not indicating an actual state of ownership but a "parent/subsidiary" relationship between two separate entities.
